The Price We Paid Video (MV)

We gotta get hope
Just to ease the pain
Our kids have judged us
And it's so insane
We worked so hard
For so many years
To give them everything
We never had
But we took the blame
Me and love we tried our best
But our kids
Don't understand us
Said our lives were a mess
They never knew the risks
That we had to take
To give them what we never had
Was it all a mistake?
The stress we took on
The life that we gave
You had no idea
Of the price that we paid
So many failures
Always around
They blamed us for their lives
Not panning out
But lives we wished we had
But we all make choices
And we take our own route
We tried to shield them
And make them strong
But it wasn't enough
And they thought we were wrong
Our lives were a struggle
But we didn't give up
No matter what we gave them
It just wasn't enough
We never had help
We came from no money
We gave them our best
Just me and my honey
The stress we took on
The life that we gave
You had no idea
Of the price that we paid
So many failures
Always around
They blamed us for their lives
Not panning out
But lives we wished we had
So we weren't perfect
We made some mistakes
But are we at fault
For our children's heartbreaks?
When do they face up
And take the lead
For their own choices
And stop blaming me?
The stress we took on
The life that we gave
You had no idea
Of the price that we paid
Always around
They blamed us for their lives
Not panning out
But lives we wished we had
Isn't it easier to blame mom and dad
When your dreams don't come true
And life treats you bad?
What crime have we committed
Where did we steer you wrong
Isn't it time
That you sing your own song?
Do you think we grew up
And just knew what to do?
Our lives took a turn
When we had you
We wanted to give you the things we never knew
We tried our best
To make it easier for you
The stress we took on
The life that we gave
You had no idea
Of the price that we paid
The stress we took on
The life that we gave
You had no idea
Of the price that we paid
The stress we took on
The life that we gave
You had no idea
Of the price that we paid
